Pavlopil (Ukrainian: Павлопіль; Russian: Павлополь) is a village in Mariupol Raion (district) in Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, at about 25 km NW from Novoazovsk and about 25 km NE from Mariupol, on the left bank of the Kalmius river.

The conflict between Ukraine and pro-Russian forces, that started in April 2014, brought along both civilian and military casualties.[1] In May 2016, a male civilian was killed and another injured when a tractor they were driving on hit an unidentified explosive device.[2]

From 2015, Ukraine restored full control over the village. However, after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village was seized by Russian occupational forces in 2022.
